It should start with reforming the electoral process so that they can get credible leaders that will have the courage to fight corruption. Secondly, Africans need to change their mindset about jobs and always run to the West to borrow or beg for aid.
As they say, necessity is the mother of inventions. Africa and Africans need to come back and develop strong systems and invest more in refining their raw material. Without these, we will only be running in cycles

I can’t say that women should be cornered or reduced to a specific role in the home. I believe a relationship is a 50-50 thing. However, in the past, there was a division of labor where the men go out to provide (Some back this up with Bible passages) while the women stayed back to take care of the home.
However, our present-day economy doesn’t support that system anymore. In a family now, both parents often have to work to keep up with the bill. Trouble usually starts when one party feels like they are doing more than the other. For example, when the woman has to work and earn money but still comes back to take care of the home.
However, while women seem to have evolved, some African men still hate the idea of being questioned or corrected by a woman (even if it is their wife).
Nevertheless, I also think most African women tend to be bossy when they start earning more than their husbands. The bottom line is that the high rate of divorce is multifaceted and cant be pinned to a single factor and both parties are equally guilty.

I don’t think that anyone can hinder your development unless you give them the power to do so. What is happening to Africa is the same reason I am against welfarism. The more you give to people, the lazier they become. The moment you have the mindset that everything should come easy, you lose the ability to think up solutions. Rather, once you have any problem you resort to begging. In simple words, African leaders are beggers and this needs to change for Africa to experience any meaningful development.

Exactly @Boma-Miranda-Emmira. We live in a society that overindulges in unhealthy comparison. If you keep looking for anything, sooner or later you will find it.

No, Africa still need aid but it should not be what governments should spend their efforts chasing like they are currently doing. Rather, African governments should spend their time investing in manufacturing, ICT, and infrastructure. These are what will lead to reasonable change not aids. Moreover, they embezzle most of the aids when it finally get to them.
